Antimicrobial Resistance Information System (AMRIS)

AMRIS transforms AMR and AMU data into evidence for action – protecting human, animal and environmental health in Nigeria

About AMRIS

A coordinated response to a global health threat that knows no borders

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of today’s most complex health challenges, requiring a coordinated One Health approach across the human, animal and environmental health sectors. Integrated surveillance is essential for understanding how AMR emerges, evolves and spreads across sectors.

AMRIS (Antimicrobial Resistance Information System) is Nigeria’s national platform for AMR and antimicrobial usage (AMU) data. The platform provides a secure, centralised platform for submitting, storing, and analysing AMR and AMU data from hospitals, laboratories, veterinary clinics, pharmaceutical companies, and other contributors, supporting integrated surveillance across the human, animal, and environmental health sectors.

AMRIS enables national and sub-national health authorities, regulators, and healthcare providers to:

Monitor AMR and AMU patterns
Design stewardship initiatives and interventions
Coordinate across sectors
Strengthen Nigeria’s AMR National Action Plan goals and international reporting obligations.

From data to action

Data submitted to AMRIS is automatically validated and analysed, transforming raw data into usable insights. Users can:

View interactive dashboards showing trends in resistance and use
Generate automated reports for national and sub-national reporting
Export data to international systems: WHO GLASS-AMR, GLASS-Fungi, WOAH ANIMUSE, FAO InFARM
